Family Promise

Because HOME is more than just a place to rest your head…

Let’s work together to help the hurting, the homeless, and the hungry in our hometown. Sacred Heart parishioners have many opportunities to provide time, talent, and treasure to this ministry. What a wonderful way to share our Catholic faith in the community.

Are you being called to:

SUPPORT Family Promise by VOLUNTEERING with fellow parishioners at our partner church Bearden United Methodist by preparing a meal, offering fellowship at dinner, and overseeing the families during the night? Three or four times a year Bearden United Methodist houses 2 – 5 families at their facility for a week at a time. Sacred Heart provides meals, fellowship, and supervision during these stays.

PROVIDE Welcome and/or Going Home BASKETS for the clients as they either enter the program and then graduate to sustainable housing? These baskets include both personal hygiene and household items.

PURCHASEback-to-school supplies for one or more children in the program?
